A new activity for OSHP Members
Playreadings

Getting together to read interesting plays out loud
has long been a favorite activity of theatre folks.
The plays might be ones that they are considering
producing, that they liked but lacked the resources
to produce, or plays that stretched their abilities
but were interesting and challenging to try anyway.

This year, we're giving this tradition a try, taking
advantage of our new home at the OSHP Building.

On Sunday, May 16, at 3 pm, we'll take a look at Leaving Iowa
by Spike Manton and Tim Clue. Billed as a "comedy about
family vacations," it offers three men and three
women chances to play a variety of different characters.

Readers will be:
Don - Trygve Haglund
Dad - Steve Zach
Mom - Roni Harper
Sis - Rebecca Haglund
Character Guy - David Lawver
Character Gal - Volunteer needed!

Participants are invited to bring treats to share.

Attendance is strictly limited to 20 total, including
readers. To sign up, either to read or to attend,
email readings@oshponline.discusrock.org. If you are
interested in reading, mention any particular role you have
your eye on, if listening, be sure to include the number in
your party. Both readers and audience will be filled on a
first-come first-served basis according to the dates on your
email. If we don't fill up the cast, we'll issue some invitations.

On February 21 we read Mary Coyle Chase's
hilarious and poignant comedy Harvey, the story of
a man whose best friend is a six-and-a-half foot rabbit.
Special thanks to Dramatists Play Service for waiving
the royalty fee for this project.
